This self-produced project has the distinction of being mastered by 2006 Record of the Year Grammy award winner Arnie Acosta. Recorded and engineered at Eastern Sky studios in Orlando, FL by Dave Brown (featured in Mix Magazine),this album has a warm ambience that makes it a pleasure to listen to.  A collection of choice ballads, bossa novas and swing tunes demonstrating PATRICIA'S rich vocal quality in a setting reminiscent of the sultry intimacy of the Julie London recordings of years ago. PATRICIA also happens to be an accomplished drummer and is featured on several tracks.  "Come Back My Love" is an original written by her father the late Don Dean, Sr., and features the gorgeous trombone sound of husband Herb Bruce. "Garota de Ipanema" a.k.a "The Girl From Ipanema" has been reharmonized to give it a fresh sound with anauthentic reading of the original Portuguese lyric.  "Close Your Eyes" has an exotic, Middle Eastern flavor thanks to guitarist Mark Speights featured on the Choral Sitar. A haunting interlude by clarinetist Jim Snyder pays homage to the original Benny Goodman recording to give this track a reference to the past with an updated sound. Pianist Charlie Prawdzik is all taste and bassist Jay Mueller provides a solid groove on all but one of the tracks.  PATRICIA DEAN is a respected musician and vocalist who began her career at the age of 14 performing with her father and brother in the Tampa Bay area. A native Floridian, PATRICIA has worked with Jazz legends Nat Adderley, John LaPorta and Ira Sullivan.  She has travelled extensively with her own trio performing in resorts and on cruise ships, and has been featured in numerous Jazz festivals throughout the country.  She currently makes her home in Southwest Florida.
